Video is only out 4 hours as of now and I've already made the cheese crackers. Now onto the fruit roll ups. I flipping love this video! Thanks MikeyG 😊

[@kbcakes6918]

How did the crackers taste? I love Cheez-its so I really want to try that recipe.

[@tylermitchell6191]

How’d the fruit rolls turn out? I’ve seen online people say to simmer the fruits instead but this doesn’t do that.

[@PaigeTheFramer]

@@kbcakes6918 They were excellent. I made a second batch this week. Best on the first day, popped them in the toaster oven 2nd and 3rd day. So good!

[@PaigeTheFramer]

@@tylermitchell6191 they turned out great! I ended up using a bag of frozen fruit and some beets and kale I had frozen from my garden. From what I read, simmering will make them translucent and a little more flexible. I've also read that cornstarch will help stop cracking. But mine were totally fine without those additions. I'll be making these often, especially during the season.

[@PaigeTheFramer]

UPDATE: I made the "ice cream" - there are no words to describe my love, especially with a little homemade kahlua drizzled on top.

[@JeffreyLund]

The problem with that cheese cracker recipe is that historically, I've treated the family size box as a single serving...

A tip for popcorn. You can heat the oil with 3-4 popcorns until they pop, remove from heat and then cover the bottom of the pan with popcorn, replace on heat after 30secs. This way you are gonna have 100% success on the popcorn popping!

[@planetmartay]

That's how I make it. Popcorn is my favorite homemade snack. It's so quick & I can flavor it with whatever I feel like...I've actually thought of opening a popcorn shop because people rave a out my odd but yummy flavors!

Quick note, if you turn your oven up after the initial 350 for 10 min, to around 425-450 on convection, you’ll get a more cheese-it like consistency and crunch, just don’t burn them

[@allisonkerkhoff4833]

Highly recommend a homemade "Dorito" popcorn spice mix! For 1/4 cup unpopped popcorn: 2 tbsp nutritional yeast .5 tsp garlic powder .5 tsp onion powder .5 tsp paprika .25 tsp salt .25 tsp chili powder .25 tsp cumin (or less, the cumin can really overpower)

Can I just say that as a recent culinary graduate, I LOVE this? Like, for example, the cheez-its are almost a synthetic pastry with cheese substituted for the butter. That yields the flakiness he talks about, and his methodology even closely mimics that for a large batch of Pate Brisee. Pro Home Cooks is right, that’s all I have to say.

Great ideas, I especially love the cheese crackers. To avoid the popcorn burning, put 4 kernels in while the oil heats and once those pop, remove and put in the rest of the popcorn, cap the pan with a lid, and slide the pan back and forth a few times to coat all the kernels in oil. Then let them pop as you normally do.

[@harpoonlobotomy]

I wish you'd just put the recipe in the description instead of referring people to a site where the recipe doesn't exist.

I think it would be really fun to have a prep day with the whole family helping make everything for the week. Great bonding activity!

[@angelalee7012]

Ahhh, that popcorn method. I cry. ;) Place the oil in the saucepan with three to five kernels of corn, put the lid on and add to heat. Once the kernels have started popping, remove the lid and add the rest of the popcorn and put the lid back on. Place the pot away from the flame for thirty seconds, and then add back to the heat and cook while agitating the pan until only a few kernels are popping per second. What this does is heat the oil to the perfect temperature for popping (tested by the 3-5 kernels). When you then place the rest of the kernels in and give them 30 seconds in the oil away from heat, you are heating them with oil at the exact right temperature while also preventing burning. Placing them back on the heat source finishes the cooking process (and replaces heat lost in that 30 seconds away from flame). This produces perfect popcorn and very few burned kernels or leftover uncooked kernels.

[@SalmanRavoof]

I'll keep that in mind the next time I make popcorn. Thank you.

To keep the kernels from burning, start with just a few kernels; once those few pop, add in the rest, as the oil is now at the proper temp, and they'll all start popping quickly, keeping them from burning.

[@ringosis]

The reason you are never getting 100% poppage and some of your kernels are burning is that you are heating the oil with the kernels in it. You can get a much more consistent pop and make it much easier to avoid burning if you heat the oil to popping temperature first. Add 3 kernels to your oil, put it on the heat, when all 3 kernels have popped add the rest. The sudden heat rapidly expands the moisture in the kernel and makes it pop, where as if you heat the oil while the kernels are in it you'll get a lot more of those kernels that either half pop (because the pressure built too slowly and just tore the casing rather than pop it) or they just dry out and don't pop at all. This is what makes people burn their oil, because they see a bunch of unpopped kernels, think the popcorn needs longer and the oil starts to reach it's smoke point. I consistently get 100% poppage with no burning with this method. Also, you shouldn't use olive oil (don't know if that's what was used in the video, but it looks like it and it's worth mentioning). It has a much lower smoke point than vegetable so the window between good popcorn and horrible bitter smoked popcorn is narrower. And even if you don't burn the olive oil, your popcorn is going to taste like olive oil, which is not usually that desirable for savoury popcorn, and just worse for sweet. Also, I haven't tried your spice mix so maybe it doesn't need this, but adding knob of butter with your pan just as it finishes popping will give your mix something to stick to and give you a lot more flavour. It's usually less necessary for savoury (because you've probably got some kind of cheese in there), but is basically essential for sweet if you don't want your sugar to just sift to the bottom of the bowl.

It’s hard to say with the fruit roll up though. You will just have to try it out and see what works best for you. It was a trial and error when made my own version awhile back. If it’s too thin and uneven it gets too crunchy, if it’s too thick it doesn’t get that leathery texture. But all still good and edible! I’ve made green apple fruit roll ups, It’s great once you figured it all out. Best

All of those look so satisfying, but I’m most excited to make the energy balls, cheese crackers, cheesy popcorn, non-dairy banana ice cream, and fruit leather. Shoot, I’m excited to make them all I guess 😂 Thank you so much for the awesome video!

I love the jars ;) great content!

[@lt2339]

Wonderful site. I subbed, you inspire me to try these!

[@frannydai]

Appreciate the popcorn idea. Trader Joe's Everything But The Elote seasoning is also great with popcorn.

I made the banana "ice cream" snack, preparing to add chocolate chips because I did not think banana + milk would be enough. It tasted amazing with just the two ingredients, it was mind blowing! I skipped the chocolate and added some pecans. I let my husband try and he said "so why do we need to buy ice cream?" 😂 That's his seal of approval. Thank you so much for sharing this!

thank you so much for giving us the knowledge! I want to tell you that it is very precious for me. Way more than another product that I could by. Just thank you.

Him: "I hope you're inspired to make at least one of these." Me: "I'M GONNA MAKE ALL OF THEM!" I'm already big on the fruit leather game. If you open your oven, the moisture can get out and you won't have those moist bits. But also I use my dehydrator for that. Gonna try the cheesy crackers today for sure! Maybe even the popcorn!

These are fantastic. I have made the energy bars before, and I like them much better than any mass produced product out there. I never even thought about making my own cheez its but I am sure as hell going to do that now! And I think my personal best for unpopped kernels is 4. Still waiting for that perfect pop :)

I love this video. thank you so much

The energy balls are amazing. Since they have no added sugar, they are Whole30. My husband and I love these to give us a little sweetness when we are following Whole30.

I am lactose intolerant and have a limited diet due to recovering from a bad case of ulcerative colitis. I really appreciate this video because I can make most of these with a couple changes (like using goat cheese over other cheese, replace cashews because cashews contribute to digestive issues, corn is a no) but everything looks pretty good and easy to make! TIn general, your videos are very helpful in eating healthy. Thank you!

[@christy6640]

how are you doing now? i hope you have recovered well :)
